    The safety and privacy concerns of storing your driver's license in a digital wallet - Engadget (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    They can reveal less information than a physical card, but privacy protections don’t necessarily follow your data after you share it. Putting your driver's license in a digital wallet doesn't mean storing a picture of the plastic card on your phone. A standards-based mobile driver's license, or mDL, contains digitally signed information that lets a compatible reader verify it came from the issuing authority.
